There grain continued its advance of Saturday under good buying orders from the States, clos- ing more than two cents higher with the October wheat future reaching 55 cents and grain traders looking to "dollar wheat," the pros- pect of which not long ago seemed to have vanished. ' The Toronto and Montreal stock exchanges, wary through the caril- est part of the day, finished with an enthusiastic bull move which not only wiped out earlier recessions but ended in net advances up to four points. International nickel was the feature performer, coming back to close steady after early losses. On the standard mining market, gold shares closed with net losses, but not at the day's low, while sliver shares went forward smartly in the late afternoon. The upward movement on the Canadian exchanges was purely a Canadian move with Wall Street's guidance lacking. It was held con- siderably by wheatfls good shins at Winnipeg and the weakness in gold shares was the only unfavorable re- action to the United States situa- tion.

While some of the banks quoted '15 per cent premium on United States funds, most Canadian instit- utions continued to accept them at par, with the exchange to be ad- justed later on when it is ascer- .tained just what it is. This is the chief puzzle of the mdinent. In this connection Canadians scanned keenly the statement at Washington of representative Rainey, that the United States was off the gold standard and had been for some time. An assumption the premium here on the United States dollar will be lower when quotations are the slump in gold shares. Canadian banks refused Monday to issue drafts payable in other countries. And both express com- panies rofused to sell money orders payable outside Canada.

MARITIME REACTION HALIFAX, Mar. 6.—(C.P.)—Tlie United States dollar, as far as or- dinary cornmercial purposes in I-Ial- ifax were concerned, had come down to the same levelof value as its Canadian contemporary today. It was generally accepted at par. and only one store was found where American money was not accepted. Banks were cashing United States funds without premium for the most part, though one institution granted 10 percent. On the other hand, most financial houses charg- ed $1.19 Canadian when selling the American dollar. The post office here was accept- ing American money at par, and fol- lowing the banking practice in charging a premium on its sale. Only Canadian money had been presented at the customs house.’ Cheques, however, were not in very good favor. Those issued on some institutions were flatly declin- ed, and others were accepted sub- ject to collection. Provincial prem- ium of 20 per cent was being charg- ed for collecting bills payable at Halifax today in United States funds. Records of such transac- tions, and of most banking exchan- ges were being kept with a guaran- tee of aujustmen‘ later. Railroads, hotels, department stores were generally operating on a par basis here. In Saint John also the banks were roving dollar for dollar, but little United States mon- ey was in evidence there.

Mr. Corrlgan had been associated ‘with the Guardian for the past l5 years. After leaving Queen Square School he worked for some time in Murray's Bakery but being ambit- ious to attain a college education he competed for one of the Con- nolly 'I‘rust Scholarships, and being successful, took the three year course at Saint Dunstanfis Univer- .slty.

About a year ago he was appointed Charlotte- town Night Representative of the Canadian Press, which worked in with his other duties. Mr .Corrigan was a keen base- ball player, bring associated with the Anchor Team, in which he played in i912. Subsequently he became a member of the Abegweit Club and played third base for several seasons. He was one of U10 team w/‘hlch played in the All Star Baseball circuit playing the Wanderers. the Crescents and the Springfield teams. After he gave up active participation in baseball |he was invariably to be found on the baseball grounds during the season, keenly following the game and encouraging the rising young players throughout the city. l-Ie was one of the fathers of the City League. and, as hns been stated, was a member of the Anchor Team, her of a first-class hockey team M13 Corrisan was keenly interest- ed ln this game, and participated in some of the local matches play- ed in the old Arena.

As Sporting Editor of both the Examiner and the Guardian he entered very enthusiastically in- to the popularlzlng and upholding of these outdoor sports, and his comments and criticisms of the games were always informative and, authoritative ‘and rarely or ever charactermcd by extreme partizan- ship. He was greatly interested in the welfare and success of the new Forum, and never failed to give it and its enterprises all the support they deserved.

His sudden calling will leave a blank in local sport life, and his presence and services will be keenly missed on the Guardian stafl‘.

Similarly with his fatherw Mr. John Corrigan, who never knew what it was to be unwell until his fatal illness, when Tom waited up- on him with a. devotion and affec- tion worthy of any wife or daugh- ter. In taking farewell of Tom his father said "Stick to the Guar- dian, boy, and you will be all right," Tom did not require any such in- junction. but it pleased him to know that his father thought he was following the proper course. His heart was in his work, and he was in his element among print- ers’ ink, copy and proofs. As a husband and father there was none so happy and contented.
